Pontiac. My dad bought a 1954 Pontiac Star Chief Custom sedan like this but his was in yellow. The Custom had a full leather interior and was as plush as any car made in !954. Dad's also had factory A/C. The 54 Pontiac was the first to have the entire A/C  unit completely under the hood. That straight eight was as smooth as glass.

While I like all three, when it comes to buying, the Pontiac would be my choice here.

Although the Kaiser looks good, I too would go for the Pontiac.

Hudson. Kaiser second. Pontiac gets interesting to me in 1957.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Pontiac looks the best by far to me, even though it has the oldest styling of the three.  Hudson is second but by this year it was loosing its looks from a few years earlier.  The Kaiser is just not my kind of car but this one is finished very well.

Kaiser without hesitation.  It was just too late to have an impact, but what a final stand!  But, please, lose that sunshade over the windshield.   The Hudson is my #2, and I cheered for these at the old Asheville-Weaverville Speedway.  Two fine cars!  Thanks for reviving my memories, John.

KAISER

I surprised myself with this one.  I like the Pontiac and Hudson, but when parked next to the Kaiser, they look old and dated.  I know Kaiser was too late to the party to make a difference on the auto front, but it got my vote here.

They all look pretty much the same.  But I liked the nose on the Kaiser the best.

Kaiser is by far the best looking of the lot. The Hudson and Pontiac appear downright dowdy at best.

Hudson, the last year they looked good/decent. Kaiser styling too over done for my taste. Pontic all right but nothing to write home about.

Hudson #1, #2 Pontiac, #3 Kaiser
